Gabriella Kiss has an eye for the small and is drawn to detail, deriving inspiration from flora and fauna, the line cycles of the natural world, and art history. The daughter of a physicist, she studied sculpture at Pratt Institute where the wax carving and metal casting techniques she uses were first learned. Other pieces are fabricated in gold with simple medieval inspired settings that highlight the beauty of a stone. The result is work that is at once poetic and scientific, delicate and figurative, executed with a precision that reveals the beauty of nature's small and secret things.
